We study the dynamics of the one-dimensional $\varepsilon$-dependent Cahn-Hilliard / Allen-Cahn equation within a neighborhood of an equilibrium of $N$ transition layers, that in general does not conserve mass. Two different settings are…

Using the method of sub-super-solution, we construct a solution of $(-\Delta)^su-cu_z-f(u)=0$ on $\R^3$ of pyramidal shape. Here $(-\Delta)^s$ is the fractional Laplacian of sub-critical order $1/2<s<1$ and $f$ is a bistable nonlinearity.…
